Our Mission

Kanbe’s Markets is a nonprofit organization providing access to fresh, affordable and healthy foods to people experiencing food insecurity. By providing innovative food delivery systems that are more inclusive, enhance small businesses and empower individuals to make healthy choices, we step closer toward an equitable future of food.

Who We Are

Kanbe’s Markets began looking at the local food system in Kansas City, Missouri in 2016. The lack of grocery stores and limited transportation resources on the east side of the city’s racially-dividing line, Troost Avenue, has created a stark division of residents experiencing food insecurity. However, the thriving community of small businesses, convenience stores and gas stations, that have acted as neighborhood grocer for decades is where Kanbe's began to build access to fresh and affordable fruits and vegetables. Today, it serves over 40 'Healthy Corner Store' partners with daily fresh produce delivery services. In 2020, Kanbe's added a Home Delivered Meals service to its programming through a partnership with the Mid-America Regional Council. For those unable to make it out of their homes and down the street to a Healthy Corner Store, Kanbe's is now able to deliver a week's worth of meals, fresh produce and other items directly to individual's doors.
